Innomotics GmbH has 14 pending office actions in Semiconductors, Circuits & Optics. The matters span 12 distinct examiners and 6 art units, indicating broad examiner coverage across a more concentrated technical structure.
MANN JR, CHARLIE FRANK is the busiest examiner, with 2 pending matters. This relationship provides a limited point of coordination within a docket otherwise distributed among many examiners.
Counsel should maintain centralized tracking for recurring semiconductor issues while tailoring claim and response decisions to each examiner and art unit.
Based on the USPTO statutory response window for each pending office action. 2 of the docket's apps have a known mailing date; the rest are excluded from the tile counts.
Difficulty is derived from the rejection statutes on the most recent pending office action. §101-driven and multi-statute cases are graded Hard; §112-only and obviousness-type double-patenting cases are graded Easy; everything else is Medium. "Unknown" means we have not yet parsed a statute for that office action.
| Bucket | Cases |
|---|---|
| §101 + other | 2 (15%) |
| §103 only | 3 (23%) |
| Multi-statute (no §101) | 8 (62%) |
How the docket's pending cases split across USPTO tech-center bands.
Manual office-action response work runs about 10 hours per case. The time-saved bands below show what IP Author's prosecution pipeline typically delivers — a conservative 20% on the low end, 35% in the middle, 50% on the high end.
